I liked Samuraiko's too.

I'm at least happy they used the 'Atlas 2' group shot (0:37 - 0:39) for the hero grouping. Partly 'cause I was there right in the near center of it.

Thank you for the time...

[/ QUOTE ]

Me, too ( middle left about halfway up the steps). I'm glad that the shots they took for AP2 (and for GV?, I thinka couple of days later) made an appearance.

If things are dropping more. I aint buying it. But if i got to buy a 100mill recipe like we have now. I can buy it. Without grinding money out

[/ QUOTE ]

Then guess what? Don't buy. It's not our problem, nor that of the Devs. It's your problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok then give us a quartermaster that sells ever IO. At a set cap. So people can over charge like they alrdy do. If your so worried about that. That way i can buy the recipe i want and not pay 100mill. See markets are alrdy out of control. More drops would fix it. B/c there would be more on market and less buying

[/ QUOTE ]

Just for giggles - post this over in The Market forum. I want to see some heads explode.

Except one of your "Pros" are already incorrect. Smaller teams get you more drops per character on the team than larger teams do, as shown to you above (and which you ignored).

8man team vs4 man team
8 man team
more xp and drops and money
4 man team
less xp and drops and money

Hope i kept it simple enough for you to figure out. But still look like you might have a prob.

Lower population means less teams. Which means less of it all.




[/ QUOTE ]


Simple and also wrong by the way.
Drops do scale with team size, but fail to keep up with the splitting of the drop chance

Easiest to explain
3 minions solo = 3 8% chances
5 minions in a duo = 5/2 = 2.5 8 % chances

Its not too bad of a drop off upto about 4, but 8 personteams have lousy drops

People LEFT your server, GO WITH THEM.

[/ QUOTE ]

I do wonder how many people on the server have him on ignore...

[/ QUOTE ]

I probably would if I knew who he is there. I have never seen this style/level of chat on Guardian, so he either speaks more coherently in-game or is silent.

<QR>

People haven't really left Guardian. I have 12 characters there, and I see lots of others when I log into that server. Heck, I even paid to transfer one character there from Champion, I think, because she fit into that SG better.

As far as your challenge to move a character to a low pop server and see how long it takes me to want to move to a high pop server - well, that would be kinda funny, since I have been playing characters on low pop servers from the time I first started playing to today. I started on Liberty 4 1/2 years ago, made characters on Guardian a few days later, and then branched out to Champion, Pinnacle & Victory. Most of those characters are still there, and have been joined by siblings. I guess they are there to stay.

95 hours playing in 7 days - seriously, try doing something else for a while. Sitting at your computer for over 13 hours a day is not healthy.

... actually, I think we need a base item request thread, if one doesn't already exist in base construction. (I haven't been in that forum for a bit, so I don't know.)

[/ QUOTE ]

There are actually a couple, I think. One for decorative items that are already in-game but not in the base editor (snack machines & real televisions, for example) and one for other stuff that would be kewl (like target dummies or a danger room). Maybe more, as well as a Base Issues thread.

Forbin is a closet filker, isn't he?

There - trying to get back off track with more song lyrics (possibly misquoted).

This suggestion is so last week. (It was, a suggestion that got locked, made by Aisynia.)

Given some of the changes made today to MA critters, let's give it a bit to see if the madness quiets down.

Oh, and BTW, we are supposed to be able to level from 1-50 in MA (not powerlevel, regular level), so I think the buildings need to stay.

The farming you were doing, was against the rules. That's why they took it away. Try reading.

The server is not dead. If you don't like being on a low-pop server, PAY YOUR TEN BUCKS AND GET OFF IT.

[/ QUOTE ]

I had about 3 friends come back b/c 1 to 22 grind was gone and they could enjoy toons finally. But are now leaving again. So yes it did kill it. See i been here 45 months and people i do team with been here for long time to. I dont got like 3 accounts . I hate solo. And i cant move toons b/c it cost alot. So Devs are killing my game play by making it take forever to lv. So i think i should have my game play improved. I pay my money so why cant i enjoy my game play. I been here long enough. lv'ed about 15 toons THE HARD WAY!! I think should have equal game play. As ones on freedom.

[/ QUOTE ]

How is giving you MORE XP & other rewards on Guardian than what is given on Freedom anything even close to "equal game play"?

That's a rhetorical question, BTW, not expecting a coherent answer.

I called for Bill's "merge the servers response" because brewha was moaning & groaning about trouble finding a team and Bill's epic MtS response has good teaming advice.

[ QUOTE ]
It does indeed!

And here I am, just heading into PMS territory. WHEE!

New Tanker for Zekiran!

edit: Brute might be better though, more SMASH!

He's baaaaccckkk!

And still not searching for prior threads on his pet topics. Someone else can go get Bill's cut'n'paste answer to merging the servers/how to find teams.

No.

Has everyone noticed they fixed the SG Emblems in the bases yet? All my blank tiles and windows now have stupid diamonds in them.

That was the very-little-discussed item in today's patch. I think Snow_Globe had mentioned they were coming over in Base Construction.

Yay, posting in a thread that isn't the epic Posi thread!

Why one full travel pool? Wouldn't say hover/fly be enough? What get aerial superioty etc?

I think I do indeed have a respec availabale. But perhaps I will leave this build alone and try using my new alternate build instead.

[/ QUOTE ]

When someone says "one full travel pool" they generally mean one pre-req (hover) and one actual travel power (fly). You don't need to pick up the other pre-req unless you have a use for it - for example, I have a soloing Corrupter build that has both Hover for mobility in missions and Air Superiority for the attack/knockdown soft control.

Also, IMO, you will want Stamina for your controller. I have an Ill/Emp Troller (now level 28) with 2 builds (solo & team) but both of them have Stamina.

And definitely, at level 18, get your Phantom Army - that's your "bread'n'butter attack". Flash, Blind & Deceive are good, but your PA does loads of damage. Slot it to recharge as fast as you can, so you can have it out as much as possible.

I can just imagine the howls that would be heard from the general playerbase if this customization were made available to the MA when it currently can't be done for any player MM charater out there.

fight a Dual Blade boss on something squishy...

[/ QUOTE ]

My point exactly. There would be something wrong if the OP said he could easily defeat DB bosses on his Defender or Controller or Corruptor or Dominator or Blaster - but his complaint was that tanking them was too easy for his Tank.

Personally I hate taking on DB anythings on my Blasters (at any level from 20ish all the way up to 50).

So let me get this straight -

because your TANK with the powersets that are best-suited to resist the damage done by a custom critter's powerset can TANK them extremely well - you are calling for a buff to that custom critter's powerset?

Have you tried playing that custom critter with any other AT or even any other tank powerset? I can tell you without even trying it out that there will LOTS of other ATs & pwersets that won't have so easy a time with that custom critter.

Silly Zekiran.

To pad post counts, of course. But if they weren't we would not have gotten the epic poem Forbin just gave us.

Seperate note: Its not so bad that someone reposts a topic already started on the forum. It could be that perhaps alot of people have been talking about it, and to get it the exposure it needs (to not have it passed over so easily under 100s of other posts) the issue is revisited in a new topic. Moderators will take note of things like this sooner, and can bring it to the attention of those who it may mean something to on the Developer team.

Except, of course, they asked us not to do that:

Sorry, but no.

I like how the power/animation looks, so just because you think it's silly, doesn't mean everyone does or that change is warranted.

So let me say it again here.. NO!

(NOTE: AFAIK, there were no server lockouts today for anyone.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, there were. Both Freedom and Virtue were grey around 3 pm-ish pacific time.

[/ QUOTE ]

I certainly saw Freedom greyed out when I swapped characters a little after 8 Eastern

[/ QUOTE ]

I stand corrected.

I was covering my posterior because I had not intended to imply anything about lockouts on Freedom or Virtue in my post, just making a comment about how busy several other servers were during the event.
